The Great Race is one of my all time greatest Comedy/Road movies, that I love watching over & over again.
I thought I would reproduce my favorite scene, the "Pie Fight" in Lego.
Over the coming months I will do other scenes out of The Great Race.
I encourage other Guild Members to recreate scenes out of their favorite movies.
